Frog spawn
Frog spawn. Tadpole characteristics are clearly visible. Frog eggs will usually develop and hatch into tadpoles with a week. Many species of frog lay their eggs together. This is to overwhelm the number of predators, for whom the eggs are easy prey. Due to sheer numbers, some eggs will survive to become tadpoles and on into adulthood, although the majority will die from predation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the delicate and fascinating world of frog spawn. The image captures a cluster of translucent eggs, each containing tiny tadpoles with distinct characteristics visible through their transparent shells. It is remarkable to witness how these eggs will swiftly develop and hatch into tadpoles within just one week. The photograph also sheds light on an intriguing survival strategy employed by many species of frogs. By laying their eggs together in large numbers, they overwhelm potential predators who consider them easy prey. This tactic ensures that at least some eggs will survive to become tadpoles and eventually mature into adult frogs, although sadly, the majority will fall victim to predation. Immersed in a freshwater environment, this underwater snapshot reveals the intricate relationship between nature's elements. The submerged tank or aquarium setting allows us to observe the interplay between the frog spawn and surrounding pond weed plants. These aquatic plants provide shelter and nourishment for both the developing embryos and future tadpoles. In this mesmerizing display of life's cycle, we are reminded of the wonders found within our natural world – where biology intertwines with zoology – creating moments like these that captivate our imagination and deepen our understanding of amphibian ecosystems.
